MISSOURI, ASSIGNOR TO JOSEPH W.

BRANCH, OF SAME PLACE.

LANTERN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 321,314, dated June 80,1885.

Application filed February 24, 1885.

To @ZZ whom it 11m-y concern.-

Be it known that I, FRANK RErNsorrMrDr, of the city of St. Louis, in theState of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement inLanterns, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, formingport of this specification, and in Which- Figure l is a side elevation,part in section, of a lantern embodying my improvement, the globe beingin its lower or normal position; and Fig. 2 is an edge view, part brokenaway, showing the globe in its raised position. Fig. 3 is a top view onthe line 3 3, Fig. l.

My invention consists in a means for raising the globe from the burnerfor lighting, cleaning, and lling purposes; and my invention consists infeatures of novelty hereinaftor fully described, and pointed out in theclaims.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the fount; B, the burner; C, thecone, D, the airtubes, H, the globe; I, the cap on top of the globe; J,the plate surrounding the cap, and L the disk upon which the globerests, all of these parts being of well-known common construction.

The tubes have air-holes M, through which air posses to supply theburner.

Surrounding or fitting over the tubes are short sleeves N, that havevertical movement on thc tubes as the globe is raised andlowered. 1Whenin their lower position they rest on beads o ou the tubes, and in thisposition they cover the openings or holes M from View; but the passageof air is still permitted through necks l? on the sleeves, into whichthe plate J isinsertcd. The plate has a flange, T, beneath which a pin,l', on the oapI engages, as usual, to lock the cap down on the globe.

U represents wires madefast by their lower ends to the disk L, fromwhere they extend outward with horizontal portion U', and then upward,forming vertical portions that ex- (No model.)

tend nearly to the tops of the tubes, and then they are bent in, forminghorizontal portions U2, that meet and are bent up and over to form ahooked stem, U3, held to the top of the lan tern by a socket, V, inwhich it has vertical movement. These wires extend through the plete J,and are soldered to the plate so that the plate and sleeves N are raisedand lowered with the globe and disk L as the wires are pulled up,;tndforced down by taking hold of the hook U3, the sleeves acting as guidesto hold the part-s in vertical position at the top of the lantern, undthey are guided and held in place at the bottom of the lantern by loops\V,through which the wires U pass, and which are secured to theair-tubes.

This arrangement forms a cheap, durable, and strong means for securingthe parts together and raising the globe from the burner for thepurposes stated.

I claim as my inventionl. In a lantern, the combination of the fount,tubes, globe, disk on which the globe rests, plate-cap fitting withinthe plate on top of the globe, sleeves tting over the tubes and securedto the plate, and wires connecting the said disk und plate,and by whichthe globe is raised and lowered from the burner, substantially as andfor the purpose set forth.

2. In a lautern, the con'ibination of the fount, tubes, globe, disk onwhich the globe rests, plate-cap fitting within the plate on top of theglobe, sleeves fitting around the tubes and secured to the plate, wiresconnecting the said disk and plate, and by which the globe is raised andlowered from the burner, and the loops through which the wires pass, thetubes being providedwith openings,and the sleeves being provided withnecks, through which air enters the tubes, for the purpose set forth.
